For example, the fixing layers 320 of the light-emitting module 300 a and the light-emitting module 300 b are separated from each other, so the light-emitting module 300 a and the light-emitting module 300 b could be defined as two different light-emitting modules.

Refer to FIGS. 3A-3C, which illustrate cross-sectional views of different stages of a process for manufacturing the light-emitting device 100A in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure.

The process begins by providing the first substrate 200 shown in FIG. 3A. As shown in FIG. 3B, the light-emitting module 300 a and the light-emitting module 300 b may be transferred from a carrier substrate (not shown) to the first substrate 200.

In some embodiments (FIG. 5 ), the protruding portion 411 b of the light-shielding structure 410 b may extend into at least part of the gap G. In some embodiments (FIG. 5 ), the protruding portion 411 b of the light-shielding structure 410 b may be in contact with a part of the light-emitting module 300 a and/or a part of the light-emitting module 300 b. For example, the protruding portion 411 b may be in contact with a part of the fixing layers 320 of the light-emitting module 300 a and/or a part of the fixing layers 320 of the light-emitting module 300 b. In some embodiments, the material of the light-shielding structure 410 b may include resins, glass pastes, black pigments, metallic particles (e.g. nickel, aluminum, molybdenum or alloys thereof), metal oxide particles (e.g. chromium oxide) metal nitride particles (e.g. chromium nitride), other material or a combination thereof, but it is not limited.

For example, the light-shielding structure 410 d may have a circle shape in the boundary of the light-emitting modules 300 as shown in FIG. 6 . In some embodiments (FIG. 6 ), a plurality of light-shielding structures 410 d may be separated from each other. In some embodiments, the light-shielding structure 410 d may include a line pattern, a mesh pattern, an island pattern, other pattern or a combination thereof, but it is not limited.

Refer to FIG. 7 , which illustrates a cross-sectional view of a light-emitting device 100E in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure. One of the differences between the light-emitting device 100A and the light-emitting device 100E is that the light-emitting device 100E may include a light-shielding structure 410 e and the light-emitting units 310′, and the electrodes 314 of the light-emitting units 310′ and the electrodes 315 of the light-emitting units 310′ may be electrically connected with the first circuit layer 210 through the pads 220. In some embodiments (FIG. 7 ), after the light-emitting modules 300 are disposed on the first substrate 200, the light-shielding material may be disposed on the light-emitting modules 300 to form the light-shielding structure 410 e. In some embodiments, the light-shielding material may be disposed on the light-emitting modules 300 by coating method or other methods. A protruding portion 412 of the light-shielding structure 410 e may be defined by a portion of light-shielding structure 410 e disposed between the fixing layers 320 of two adjacent ones of the light-emitting modules 300. After the light-shielding structures 410 e are disposed, a protective layer 510 may be disposed on the first substrate 200 to cover the light-emitting module 300 a, light-emitting module 300 b and/or the light-shielding structure 410 e. In some embodiments, an area of the protective layer 510 may be the same as or different from an area of the first substrate 200 in the normal direction Z. In some embodiments, the material of the protective layer 510 may include organic materials or inorganic materials, such as silicon nitride, silicon oxide, Al2O3 or resin, but it is not limited. The protective layer 510 may be a single layer or multilayer.

In some embodiments (FIG. 7 ), the light-shielding structure 410 e may cover (or overlap with) a portion of the fixing layers 320 in the normal direction Z. In some embodiments, a height H1 of the protruding portion 412 may be modified. In some embodiments (not shown), the height H1 of the protruding portion 412 may be greater than or equal to the height H2 of the fixing layer 320. In some embodiments, the height H1 of the protruding portion 412 may be less than the height H2 of the fixing layer 320. The height H1 may be defined by a maximum height of the protruding portion 412 in the normal direction Z. The height H2 may be defined by a maximum height of the fixing layer 320 in the normal direction Z. The height H1 and/or height H2 may be measured from a scanning electron microscope (SEM) image along any direction perpendicular with the normal direction Z. In some embodiments (not shown), the height H2 of the fixing layer 320 may be adjusted according to demand. In some embodiments (not shown), the fixing layer 320 may cover the light-emitting unit 310, and the fixing layer 320 may exposure part of the electrodes 314 and part the electrodes 315 for electrically connecting to the pads 220.

Refer to FIG. 8 which illustrates a cross-sectional view of a light-emitting device 100E′ in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure. One of the differences between the light-emitting device 100E and the light-emitting device 100E′ is that, the fixing layers 320 of the light-emitting module 300 a (or light-emitting module 300 b) of the light-emitting device 100E′ may have openings disposed between the light-emitting units 310′, and the openings may not overlap with the light-emitting unit 310′. The material of the fixing layers 320 of the light-emitting device 100E′ may include silicon, but it is not limited. In some embodiments (FIG. 7 ), the material of the fixing layers 320 of the light-emitting device 100E may include sapphire, glass, PI, but it is not limited

As shown in FIG. 9 , the electrodes, such as the electrodes 314 and 315, of the light-emitting unit 310′ may be electrically connected to the pads 220 disposed on the first substrate 200. Therefore, the second circuit layer 430 and/or the second substrate 400 may be removed in this embodiment.

Refer to FIG. 9 , which illustrates a cross-sectional view of a light-emitting device 100F in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, one of the differences between the light-emitting device 100A and the light-emitting device 100F is that the light-emitting device 100F may further include an optical sensor 520 and reflective layers 530. In some embodiments (FIG. 9 ), the optical sensor 520 may be disposed between the first light-emitting module 300 a and the second light-emitting module 300 b, or the optical sensor 520 may at least partially overlap with (or cover) the gap G in the normal direction Z. In some embodiments (FIG. 9 ), the optical sensor 520 may overlap with the light-shielding structure 410 f in the normal direction Z. The optical sensor 520 may be disposed to sense the light emitted from the light-emitting units 310′. For example, when the light-emitting unit 310 of the light-emitting module 300 a emits a light L1, the light L1 may be incident to the reflective layer 530 and then be reflected to the optical sensor 520. Similarly, the light-emitting unit 310 of the light-emitting module 300 b emits a light L2, the light L2 may be incident to the reflective layer 530 and then be reflected to the optical sensor 520. The optical sensor 520 may collects light L1 and/or the light L2, and the operating condition of the light-emitting unit 310 of the light-emitting module 300 a and/or the light-emitting module 300 b may be modified according to an intensity of light L1 and/or an intensity of L2 collected by the optical sensor 520, but it is not limited. Therefore, the differences between the light-emitting modules 300 (such as the light-emitting modules 300 a and 300 b) may be reduced or the uniformity of brightness may be increased.

In some embodiments, the optical sensor 520 may include a P-intrinsic-N diode (PIN diode) or a thin film transistor (TFT). In some embodiments, the optical sensor 520 may include GaN, GaAs, InAs, AlGaAs, GaInN or another suitable material. In some embodiments, the material of the reflective layer 530 may include metal, such as Al, Cu, Ag, Au or another suitable reflective material.

In some embodiments, the optical sensor 520 may be overlapped with the light-shielding structure 410 f to reduce a possibility of the optical sensor 520 affected by surrounding light, or to increase the accuracy of the optical sensor 520. In some embodiments (FIG. 9 ), the reflective layers 530 may be overlapped with the light-shielding structure 410 f. In some embodiments (FIG. 9 ), the reflective layers 530 may be disposed between the light-shielding structure 410 f and the optical sensor 520 in the Z direction.

In some embodiment, the driving units 230 may include a TFT. For example, the driving unit 230 may include a gate electrode 231, a source electrode 232, a drain electrode 233 and a channel region 234. The gate electrode 231 may be disposed in a first circuit layer 210; the source electrode 232, the drain electrode 233 and the channel region 234 may be disposed in a circuit layer 211. The dielectric layers 211 and 212 may be a portion of the first circuit layer 210. The material of the gate electrode 231 may include metal, such as copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), molybdenum (Mo), tungsten (W), gold (Au), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), platinum (Pt), titanium (Ti), other suitable materials or combinations thereof, but it is not limited.
